VOV.VN - Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup and other companies in its ecosystem launched a campaign "For a green capital" on January 10 as part of efforts to call on the community to unite to reduce air pollution in the capital.
The campaign is part of drastic activities taking place amid the air quality in Hanoi being at the worst level in the world recently, with the high rate of fine dust affecting people's health.
Upon addressing the launching event, Nguyen Viet Quang, Vice President and General Director of Vingroup, highlighted the close co-operation and concerted efforts made by the entire community, from management agencies to businesses, social organisations, and each individual in reducing air pollution in Hanoi especially emissions reduction in the transport sector.
He therefore expressed his belief that with the determination and solidarity of the whole community, the campaign will eventually reap success and bring cleaner air and a safer living environment to all Hanoians.
Through the campaign, starting from January 10 Vingroup and companies in its green mobility ecosystem will simultaneously implement support activities and policies for customers who buy, rent, and use electric vehicles (EVs).
VinFast will offer support of up to VND70 million for customers purchasing electric vehicles (EVs) and registering license plates in Hanoi from January 10 to January 31, 2026.
